No, you are not.

Many of us who live in states where you can not use your cell while driving use BT. I stream all my music to my car when traveling and also have navigation and text/emails read to me, while conversing with people all hands free. I also use a tablet that communicates with my phone via BT, and will let me use it's data connection through BT. In this day and age I cannot imagine anyone who drives not using BT. Of course I have realized that many users of this phone are still in school so many of them may not be driving or think that they can use their phone safely while doing so. So anyhow, you are not alone. V :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
Mind sharing what you did or pointing me in the direction to do the same?
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
Surely.

I uploaded the edited framework apk that I made last night (with edited values to keep the button lights off) here.

IMPORTANT FOR ANYONE ELSE READING THIS:

This file is only meant for the Feb 3rd release of the Energy ROM for the Amaze. Don't use it in any other rom because it could give you problems!

With that said, if you don't trust my file, you can follow that link that the other poster gave and make your own with those instructions. If you decide to make your own, keep in mind you can just get the file you are going to edit from NRG's zip...you don't have to pull it off of your phone like the instructions say. Otherwise, you can do one of two things.

1. You can use ADB to remount your system and push that file directly into your /system/framework folder (this caused me to go into boot loops, but according to the original instructions, it was supposed to work...it just didn't for me. Maybe if I turned my phone off first it might have?)

or

2. How I got it to work was to re-d/l NRG's zip, open it, go into /system/framework and replace the file in there with this one. Then I just re-installed the ROM (without wiping or clearing anything), and the buttons now stay off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] YungMage:
NRGZ28 have you heard of the V6 Supercharge Script?
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
Ok. So this will make the button lights stay off. Now is this purely a cosmetic issue where the lights go on? or is there something else that gets improved by turning off said lights?

thanks :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
It just eliminates the screen bleed problem that the Amaze has. No other reason besides that (unless you just hate button lights). :p
[HTC Amaze 4G] thenikeman:
Purely cosmetic...just no more light bleeding from the LED's. Although there might be a .02% increase in battery life too ;)

Edit: MildewMan beat me to it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
This too. I honestly feel like my battery life is vastly improved w/o these lights on. When you look at what's using your battery, and it shows Display as the largest %, I think it is because of these button lights tbh.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eichenberg:
I use it when I install a new ROM...I think (and I could be wrong) but NRG included it in his ROM for the HD2 once and it did not have good results as far as including it in the ROM. It was better to install and run as an extra "app".
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
I can confirm that I downloaded the file from your post and instead of using ADB to push the file to /system/framework dir i used root explorer which would basically be the same thing. could not get out of reboot loop. had to recover. luckily i do a backup every time i am about to mess with a new update or anything system related :).

I guess I will have to do the same thing you did, embed it into the ROM update package and have it installed at the same time with the ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
Of course.... and I recommend against using it. No need for it...
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
So nrg are you going to port your 3.5 Rom?

The one app I finally discovered that has been causing my random reboots. "Brightness Level" by CurveFish. App works nicely, but not with this sweet ROM! Uninstalled it and finally no more random reboots or bootloops for the last week.

Any confirmation is appreciated.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
i dont really like installing apps that stay open all the time, waste batterylife. that only app i have stay open is rootdim and i have to or i just get annoyed lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] eichenberg:
NRGZ could you elaborate on why? In my experience with the Amaze when I was not running it I would see my memory drop into the 170 - 180 range, and I would have to go into task manager frequesntly and manually "kill all". With V6 installed on 1000hp setting my memory rarely drops below 360, mainly sits in the 380 range.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
All it does is kill your apps that run in the background. You can easily kill apps that you dont want anymore with the task manager. However, if you ever want to switch between apps, and actually want to go back to the same spot in an app, right where you left it, you wont be able to do that, because it's been killed and now you have to wait for it to reload and start over. I personally hate that. Besides, linux handles RAM much better than windows mobile used to, so I doubt we need to concern ourselves so much with "free RAM" anymore.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
Agreed with NRG. I used to use automatic task killers and such a long time ago. On this phone I do not need to. I have no automatic task killers installed of any sort and I am usually in the range of 250-280 MB free RAM. And if more RAM is needed then android should automatically kill old unused tasks to free up memory as it's needed.

Phone is very stable without any task killers installed. On my old Samsung Galaxy phone I used to have a automatic task killer and was set to kill unused apps but the phone would end up being unstable after several weeks and would need to be rebooted.

On this phone with this ROM I have no task killers installed, I have plenty of memory available and have not needed to reboot for any reasons. My previous uptime was 3 weeks and the only reason I had to reboot was because I wanted to install the Theme listed about 10 pages back in this forum, but I am sure I could had gone for another 3 weeks without having to reboot for any reason.

This ROM is the most stable ROM I had ever used on any Android device which includes Samsung Vibrant, then went to Samsung Vibrant 4G, then to HTC Inspire unlocked, then to HTC Sensation 4G and finally went with the HTC Amaze 4G. Rock Solid ROM. No need for anything else. This is much more stable even than the Stock ROM :)

Now I know why I am so glad I "invested" in the bounty tread to get NRG an Amaze so he could cook up this absolutely awesome ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
ok im back on energy now. noticed this the first time i ran energy, but this time i got a copy of it. what does this mean? do i need to reflash the kernel again?
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
That happened to me when I first rooted my phone. I'm not exactly sure what I changed to get it to work, but try restarting your phone. What you can do to test if the flash file is going to work before running it is open cmd and type in "ADB remount" and see if it successfully remounts your phone. If it does, then you can run the kernel script. That way your phone won't keep restarting due to the script.

Edit: If that doesn't work, you may try restarting your computer. I know I didn't do anything special to get it to start mounting.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I hate to ask, but is your and debugging on? At the beginning remount failed instead of connecting to port 5037 after the daemon messages or whatever it is. I would guess everything from there would be thrown off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
ok, went thru that time!
[HTC Amaze 4G] eichenberg:
Thanks to both and NRGZ on the explaination...guess I have old fears from WM days. I am going to un supercharge tonight.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
yup, had everything square, not sure what the deal was. did that the first time i ran energy too. this time, i did like mildewman said and typed adb remount. said remount succeeded, so i reflashed the kernel and it went thru that time ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
You have to run the script when the modded kernel is already installed. Stock kernels have "secure" boot images that wont let you mount the \system partition as writable. In other words "adb remount" will result in an error as seen above. So you might have to run that script twice. First, it will obviously error out when it's copying the .ko modules (wifi.. bt.. etc) but it WILL flash the kernel. Then, after you reboot with the new kernel, you run the script again, to flash those modules in order to get wifi/bt working :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
whats funny is that last time i had this installed, i only flashed the kernel once (got the errors) and bt and wifi worked fine for me. my phone must be a dirty little whore that takes whatever i give her! :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
Or the modules you already had on your phone were compatible with this ROM's kernel :P
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
:p i still say shes a dirty whore! LOL on a side note, i noticed after flashing this new kernel, the shutdown animation does this thing where right before it turns off, a white box goes across the screen and stays there until its completely powered off. not the normal animation that looks like a tv...this comes after that. i dont remember seeing that the last time. is that normal?

---------- Post added at 05:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

forgot one more thing my man...do i need to rewipe AFTER i get the kernel installed? i remember flashing radios on my mytouch and if i didnt wipe the cache, it would make this weird vibrating thing during boot. just curious if i should do the same here to be on the safe side
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
Hey NRG how come the 3.5 layout is much different than the one shown on youtube running on the HTC bliss?

flash rom and kernel clarification of steps

Hello, I am looking to flash this rom for the first time and am still on stock rom although have unlocked bootloader and rooted phone.

Just to be clear I understand I should do these steps in this order:

-First flash kernel via flash image gui (but which kernal, the stock or the faux?)

-then do wipe and factory reset

-then flash rom

-then do wipe and factory reset again

-then reboot?

thanks for clarification
[HTC Amaze 4G] YungMage:
the kernel is on the root of his ROM Folder it called Boot.IMG

omit the wipe after the flashing of the ROM and you are good

Hit Thanks if it helped
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
here's the order I did it in and did not have any problems since this ROM version 02/03 was released:

1. Ran Superwipe to completely wipe the phone

2. Installed NRG ROM

3. Booted phone up for first time.

4. Ran Stock Kernel Flash.bat from inside windows with the phone connected via USB cable.

5. Phone automatically reboots.

Enjoy.
[HTC Amaze 4G] windcan:
thank you

so I just flash the rom and I will get everything I need in that one step?

Sorry but I have only ever flashed roms on a different phone and have never flashed on this phone yet.

I have also never flashed a kernel.

Thanks for the help on the noob proof steps to getting and using this ROM.

I am looking forward to getting off the stock one.

---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

thanks for the help however, I am not familiar with superwipe, the nrg rom, or flashing a kernel.

I will continue to read what I can but hoping to be able to go straight to energy rom from my current one and if need to flash kernel I believe using the flash gui app would be the simplest way for me.

appreciate the help though
[HTC Amaze 4G] YungMage:
You can I edited your steps. Do it that way and you are good to go. It easiest and makes no bugs like not charging regularly. Also after you do all that you should flash CWM 5.5.0.4 You can use flash gui app to do that too then just restart and you are good
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
Once I get home I can put together a more detailed version. now I am at work and can't do that yet. That is if no one beats me. lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] windcan:
Thanks very much, if you could do this, this would be greatly appreciated.

Steps laid out clearly makes me feel more safe I won't end up stuck part way through and without a phone for a few hours or a day until I can figure out what I did wrong :(

Also, I see a lot of talk on CWM 5.5....

I have "ROM Manager" installed on my phone from the market and it is currently v5.0.0.6 and is up to date via market. Is this not a perfectly fine option for flashing this ROM.

Your clarification is greatly appreciated.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
So you already have superuser installed on your phone correct? Do you also have clockworkMod installed?
[HTC Amaze 4G] windcan:
superuser installed just means I have root right?

I have the app and icon in my apps drawer as well so I must.

I also believe I have clockworkMod installed, however, that app name is "ROM Manager" right?

appreciate your patience and help to all responding
[HTC Amaze 4G] bobbymokie:
ROM manager is the Android app, cwm is the actual recovery version. Open ROM manage, the first line will tell you the recovery version and offer to flashthe latest if it's not up to date.

This ROM is a two step flash. Assuming you're already rooted and custom recovery installed

Download the ROM and the kernel file. The room goes on the amaze sd card, the kernel goes on your computer.

On the phone use room manager to reboot into recovery

First run a backup

Then wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and dalvic cache

Then install zip from sd card, choosing nrg

Let it do its thing and reboot, then let the phone sit for a few minutes

Plug it into USB connected to computer

Find the kernel file you downloaded and unzip the file into a new folder

Double click the kernel.bat and watch it work

You're done
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
Rom Manager can flash CWM mod for you. Just open RM up and there will be an option (top option) to flash CWM on your phone.

Go ahead and flash CWM, and then give me a few minutes. I'm going to write some instructions for you.

Edit: Bobby beat me to them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] YungMage:
Ok here it is from the point that you said you have unlocked bootloader and rooted.

1.Go into Recovery by restarting into it. Do a backup.

2.Restart phone and dl Flash GUI App 99cents on market

3. Put Rom on root of sdcard

4.open Rom zip and copy the Boot.IMG and place it on root of your sdcard too.

5.Go to Flash GUI app and choose kernel then browse to ex_sd card and choose the Boot.IMG

6.Click flash img. Accept the warning.

7. it will give you option for standard reboot after it flash choose no. Restart phone into recovery

8. In recovery wipe/data factory reset

9. choose install from sd card, choose zip from sd card and choose the rom

10. reboot system

11. Boom you are running sweet Energy.

12.GO to http://androtransfer.com/xboarder56/HTC Amaze 4g/Recoverys/5.5.0.4/recovery-cwm-ruby-5.5.0.4.img it will automatically dl the updated recovery.

13. go into sd card and and place dled file on root of the card

14. go back into Flash GUI app and choose recovery

15. browse into ex-sdcard like before and choose the recovery cwm 5.5.0.4 boot img

16. choose flas then choose standard reboot.

17. almost done everything should work. now restart one more time into recovery and do a back up and you're golden

18. Hit Thanks:D

Note mine I think is easiest and guaranteed to not mess up. does extra steps like clearing cache etc so you dont have to worry about it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Step 1. Grab a beer.

2. Download the tool from here and install on your computer. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1493905

3. Use the toolbox to install cwm 5.5.0.4

4. Place the rom zip on your sd card.

5. Download Flash image gui from here and install on your phone

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1453617

6. Boot into recovery and flash the rom

7. Reboot phone

8. Use Flash image gui to flash kernel (navigate to rom zip within the app.

9. Grab another beer.

EDIT:Yung beat me to it. Only difference really is he flashed kernel first. I flashed rom first. Also, I don`t think you need to pull the boot.img out of the rom....just navigate to the rom zip in flash image gui and it finds it for you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] windcan:
This is great, thanks very much.

Can I use Flash Image GUI to flash kernel though and just put the kernel zip file on root of sd card as well just the same as the ROM?

Also, which kernel should I use as Energy had both a "stock" and a "faux" kernel there to download.

Thanks again
[HTC Amaze 4G] YungMage:
Yea you dont just thougth I make it more noob proof lol no subfolder navigating needed or am I wrong lol

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

yea you can use flash app to flash kernels and recoveries. his kernel is in the zip rom package on the root of the file when you open it. it is calle Boot.IMG
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
Yes you can use FI-GUI for the kernel. You can use either kernel (I use the stock one).
[HTC Amaze 4G] bobbymokie:
Stock here as well. very happy with it
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Stock is the way to go. Those who have had issues have generally been using faux. Although either should be fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
A new Rom is uploading..

Changelog ?

Updated graphics all around :P

Sense 4.0 ringtones and sounds :)

That's about it for now :P

You can flash this new ROM right on top of your old ROM without doing anything else... you might have to flash the stock kernel package IF you have the faux kernel installed, otherwise you're good.
[HTC Amaze 4G] YungMage:
SAY WHAT!!!! *Faints* Thank you:o
[HTC Amaze 4G] windcan:
please help

I did a back up in recovery

then did factory reset, wipe data and dalvik cache

Then went to flash rom and got an error and it was aborted

tried again and same result

so went to got and to a regular reboot but phone is stuck on white screen with green htc logo stuck on screen and won't progress from this screen.

I have done a couple of hard resets and same result, stuck on same screen

any suggestions?

thank you in advance

Dude, great ROM! I love the look of this and I keep coming back to it ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Boot into recovery (remove battery, replace, hold volum down and power at same time). Then try to reflash the rom again.

If that doesn`t work, boot into recovery and restore your backup, then flash the kernel using flash image gui and then try to flash the rom again.

Installed the new ROM.. lookin good!! Only issue I have noticed so far is that I'm getting a FC on Google maps right at start up. Any ideas?

Just a few very minor changes (that I have seen so far). Not really enough for screenshots. There's a different circular loading animation and checkboxes/on-screen pop-up notifications look a bit more sleek. Also changing the volume has a tone now instead of the horn. That's all I've noticed so far.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jms122589:
So does anyone know where to get the"unthemed" rom? In the OP it says themed and unthemed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
I don't think he offers the stock ROM anymore (not sure why you would install a "custom" stock rom :p ). I believe he only offers the themed version since he rebuilt it unless there is an option built in to the rom that I don't know about.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Changelog says it all. It looks the same. But I'm uploading now. Please remember, I'm using leftover apaquette420 theme also (leftover meaning I flashed a lockring over the theme on blue sky skin and some of his theme stuck -thankfully) so my dockbar and icons may look different
